Decentralized Control of Petri Nets

Abstract
Supervision based on place invariants (SBPI) is an efficient technique for the supervisory
control of Petri nets. In this paper we propose extensions of the SBPI to a decentralized control
setting. In our setting, a decentralized supervisor consists of local supervisors, each controlling
and observing a part of the Petri net. We consider both versions of decentralized control, with
